CombineZM ( CZM for short , also CombineZ-Movie) was programmed for PCs with Windows XP and Windows 2000 . CombineZM is based on CombineZ5 and was developed from 2006 to 2008. An innovation compared to the CZ5 is the possibility of importing an entire film, whereby the program independently extracts the individual images of the film for calculation. CZM was replaced by CombineZP.

restrictions

  • No support for 16-bit images
  • The images must be sorted according to the depth of field (shortest focus to farthest focus)

CombineZP website

CombineZP ( CZP for short , also CombineZ-Pyramid) is the successor program to CombineZM. A new feature compared to CZM is that CZP can apply several algorithms one after the other to the same series of images and thus achieve a better result. Later versions of CZP were optimized for multi-core processors and can take over the Exif data of the image, whereby the parameters are taken from the first image or "frame".
